According to "Mundo Deportivo", after France was eliminated by Spain, Barcelona teammate Pedri consoled Kounde.

Spain's big win over France secured their spot in the World Cup final. In the Spanish locker room, Cucurella summarized the match, which demonstrated the dominance of Luis de la Fuente's team, with one sentence: "What a dominant performance!"

With this defeat, Kounde's World Cup journey ended, and he could only accept the reality of playing in the third-place playoff. That match will be held at 5 AM on July 19th Beijing time (CEST).

After the final whistle, the on-field competition was temporarily set aside. Pedri – Kounde's teammate at Barcelona – walked straight to the Frenchman without hesitation to offer comfort. The Canary midfielder also extended good wishes to former teammate Dembele, showing that competition only stays at the match level.

This was not the first time such a scene has occurred in this World Cup. After the previous round of 16 match against Portugal, several Barcelona players in the Spanish squad also consoled the eliminated Cancelo.
